INS 123.390 Particle Detection

This project aims to develop a compact remote particle detector solution for monitoring in harsh industrial environments.

Factsheet

  • Schools involved School of Engineering and Computer Science
  • Institute(s) Institute for Surface Applied Laser, Phototonics and Surface Technologies ALPS
  • Research unit(s) ALPS / Thin Films and Surface Engineering
  • Funding organisation Innosuisse
  • Duration (planned) 01.06.2025 - 30.11.2026
  • Head of project Prof. Dr. Sylvain David Le Coultre

Situation

The focus of this project is on vacuum coating reactors. The use of a modular solution with a deported photonic detection head enables applications in other environments such as liquids or gases.

This project contributes to the following SDGs

  • 6: Clean water and sanitation
  • 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
  • 12: Responsible consumption and production
